Clean Up a Project

After you have translated project files, you can clean them and update the translation memory (TM). The Clean Up action converts the bilingual TXLF files into translated target files with the file format of the source.

To clean up the project and update the TM:

In the Current Project view, click Cleanup on the Project Files tab.

On the Project Cleanup dialog, select a language or languages.

All Language Pairs	Click to clean up all language pairs for the project.
Specific Language Pairs	Click to clean up only the language pairs you specify from the drop-down list.
Single Language Pair	Click to clean up only one language pair you select from the drop-down list.

Specify the location for the translated files from the drop-down list.
(Optional) Select Create subfolders by language.
(Optional) Select Add language suffix to the translated file name.
Select TM Overwrite Options from the drop-down list.
(Optional) Enable Add attribute, then enter that attribute in the attribute field.
(Optional) Enable Add file name as attribute to add the file name to the file attributes.
(Optional) Enable Overwrite private TUs (WFServer TM only) if you are connected to a Wordfast Server TM and want to overwrite the private translation units (TU).
Select the TM(s) to Update from the table.
Click Clean Up.
On the Info dialog, click OK.
When the cleaned files are saved at the designated location, a message displays indicating that the cleanup finished successfully.
